ATLANTA -- Asked to pick out a spot on the floor where he thought his team could best exploit Michigan's defense Saturday, Brandon Triche had to think for a minute.

Then, the senior guard collected himself, and responded generally.

"We think we've got mismatches at every position," the Syracuse senior guard said Friday. "We feel like not too many teams can stay in front of us."

Michigan and Syracuse will battle in the Final Four on Saturday (8:49 p.m., CBS) for the right to play in the national championship game.

Much of the talk this week leading up to the game has centered around the Orange's 2-3 zone defense. But Triche -- a 6-foot-4 senior guard -- reminded everyone not to sleep on Syracuse's offense, either.

"That's what we did with Jordan Hulls, with him being such a good 3-point shooter, we went at him every play, he got a few fouls, they had to sub him out."

With Stauskas' ability to fire away from behind the 3-point line -- he was 6 of 6 against Florida in the Elite Eight -- the Orange say they'll do their best to make him work extra hard on defense, with hopes of altering his shot at the other end.

Triche said the Orange used the same strategy against Hulls, who turned in an 0 of 6 clunker against Syracuse in the Sweet 16.

"C.J. always seems to find a mismatch, it depends on who they cover, if they put Nik on either Brandon or C.J., I think we can exploit that," Syracuse point guard Michael Carter Williams said. "I'm not trying to knock Nik or anything, he's a great player and a a great shooter, but if we attack him, he's going to have to work.

"And that's going to take away from his shot. He'll be tired. His legs won't be there."

Stauskas isn't the only mismatch Syracuse believes it can exploit Saturday.

Carter-Williams is a 6-foot-6 point guard, Triche is a 6-foot-4 two-guard. Every other starter on the roster stands at least 6-foot-8.

So, with that said, who is 6-foot-1 Michigan point guard Trey Burke going to check?

"I think I can try to take him to the basket, get on the block a little bit," Carter-Williams said. "I'm a lot taller than him."
